Alison Smith

I help people undergoing life transitions through harnessing their creative genius inside; using writing, drawing, collage, energy and breath work. The relationship is at the heart of the work and I use counselling, coaching, mentoring and teaching to facilitate the process of discovering your true authentic self and mission.ÊMy principal modalities are counselling (person-centred), life coaching and Usui Reiki Healing. My interests in energy work, shamanism, the divine feminine and Buddhism also inform my work.ÊMy 1:1 mentorships and stand alone sessions as well as group workshops and retreats all combine the possibilities of counselling, coaching, reiki healing and facilitating creativity.I specialise in working with transitions, losses of various kinds and life-stage issues. These can manifest as depression and anxiety so I also work with these presenting conditions to dive deeper into what is going on for the client.ÊÊI am a poet and teacher with 30 years experience of helping adults and young people access their creativity to become who they are, not who anyone, including themselves, expects them to be.ÊI prefer long term work of 3 months, and offer a three month mentorship and commitment to a process. The investment and most appropriate payment plan for this would be discussed only at the initial (free) consultation. I also offer half day and whole day intensives.
